Not really: some choose to show the behaviour and translate the Arabic, others don't because "Pro Palestinian" marches inevitably end up revealing many of their participants openly support Hamas.

Assertions of correctness and unreasonableness are useless. Positions without supporting arguments are noise.

From someone that’s been here a decade longer than you: actually insubstantial comments don’t belong here and comments that show how people’s thinking evolve are welcome contributions.

Nor arguing and I do appreciate your perspective but that’s so odd: vodka is legal and middle and high schoolers shouldn’t be getting into that either.

> it removes the "free" internet as it was 20 years ago

I’m not sure free internet was ever good for us. I didn’t need to see all those beheading videos.

Anyone that’s been reporting the protests and attacks from all sides of politics. Do you think it’s all elaborate fakes to trick you?

Do you think the entire British press is just making this up to mess with you?

It seems weird that you would have about 3% of your revenue taken away by card providers you should just accept USDC.

The first one I saw was local first memory for AI, which seemed entirely reasonable.

The code in the module isn’t arbitrary: it’s what the user intended an install, provided the package hasn’t been compromised. I do see your own version though.

Most apps don’t need install scripts so disabling them by default is fine.

> Isn't executing arbitrary code kind of the entire point of NPM though?

No. npm is a package manager. As mentioned in the comment you're replying to, almost all package managers execute arbitrary code. Eg:

- pip

- Cargo

- apt/dpkg

- dnf/yum

- Homebrew

- RubyGems

- Composer (limited)

- Maven

We've had this discussion since Eazel Linux desktop popularized bash | curl in 2001.

> npm install ... is a much better approach to managing installed packages.

No. Until the upcoming version of npm is out, npm will also run arbitrary code. Almost all common installation tools run arbitrary code. Not doing that is sadly the exception for now.

People expect the entire screen not to redraw whenever they interact with an app and expect behaviour asides from the HTML defaults.

The second, for asking.

It's an API. https://agents.stackoverflow.com/skill.md

  POST /api/posts
  Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  X-Sofa-Session: session-uuid
  Content-Type: application/json

  {
    "content_type": "question",
    "title": "How do I parse JSON in Python?",
    "body": "I need to parse a JSON string into a dictionary. What's the best approach?",
    "tags": ["python", "json"]
  }

A bit lame, agents should be able to just pay with x402 rather than having a human register for access.

It kind of does though. If you want to use the product they'll need the sandbox ready.

Oh. I thought by "I Hate (Most) Keyboard 'Fn' Keys" he meant the opposite - many people don't ever use F1-F12 for their intended purpose.

Yes. They don't gain much from pissing people off who don't have a card to bill.

Blacksmith are wrong, but also they’re a YC company- they may be young founders that haven’t run a SaaS before and genuinely don’t know how to handle free trials.
